Create an Attribute Mapping for User Claims in an LDAP Directory

The Agent for SharePoint requires an attribute mapping based on an attribute with a unique value for each user. Use the Administrative UI to create a pair of attribute mappings that defines how SiteMinder searches for user claims through the SharePoint people picker.

Important! The Agent for SharePoint supports only one CA SiteMinder user directory.

Note: For more information about the relationships between attribute mappings in an LDAP directory and the other components of your environment, see the LDAP examples chart.

Follow these steps:

Log on to the SiteMinder Administrative UI.
Click Infrastructure, Directory, User Directory, Modify User Directory.
A list of user directory connections appears.
Click the option button for your user directory, and then click Select.
The Modify User directory page appears.
Click Create.
The create attribute mapping page appears.
Verify that the Create a new object of type Attribute Mapping option button is selected, and then click OK.
Click the name field, and enter the following name:
```
useridentifier
```
Verify that the Alias option button is selected, and then click the Definition field.
Enter the following definition:
```
uid
```
Click OK.
The Modify User directory page appears.
To create the second mapping, repeat Steps 4 through 5.
Click the name field, and then enter the following name:
```
smuserdisplayname
```
Verify that the Alias option button is selected, and then click the Definition field.
Enter the following definition:
```
displayName
```
Click OK.
The Modify User directory page appears.
Click Submit.
The attribute mappings are created.
